Abstract
In mammary tumors that are large relative to breast-size, complex reconstructive methods are required. We describe an alternative system of closure. In circumstances such as this, primary closure of this skin defect may be enabled by stress relaxation of the skin and the use of a tension-relief system. Tension-relief systems secures immediate primary closure of large skin defects in patients with large for breast-size tumors by placing the tension away from the skin edges. This enables early skin closure and rapid mobilization with good functionality. Optimal healing facilitates postoperative radiotherapy on time without reconstruction failure.
